…a long-term customer. I highly recommend Green Sun if you are going to go solar. However, it was only recently that I realized they also offer the soft/pressure wash services. We scheduled Green Sun to wash our roof, panels, siding, deck/patio/pavers and fence. It all went very well and the results are a vastly improved look for our property. I'll give them a 5 star rating for their work on this, as well as their solar panels business. Whether you have solar panels or not, consider giving Green Sun a chance to do your next soft wash project on your property. It worked out great for me and I highly recommend Green Sun. They are efficient, courteous, and professional and I recommend that you give them a chance for your next project for your home and property.

…the roof deck; every screw was sunk into the rafters. As promised, no part of the array is visible from the front or sides of the house... If you are thinking about “going solar,” or even just getting a standby generator, you really ought to give Glen at Green Sun a call. "- Wayne from Middletown, NJ. Solar Panel InstallationI recently contacted Green Sun ("GS")about power washing my house, deck, walkways, retaining walls, etc. GS obtained a detailed and up-to-date view of my property, and, along with the square footage of my home, developed a cost estimate. I obtained an estimate from another contractor, which was based on the same information as the GS estimate. GS was less expensive by a not-insignificant amount; yet, as best as I could determine, GS offered the same thorough approach using similar products as their competitor. I moved forward with GS. The 2-person team arrived on time on the scheduled day, and worked the full day, power washing all the walkways, deck, patio, retaining walls. I was scheduled for 2 days, and the team returned as scheduled and completed the job, including the roof and the rest of the house. The results were excellent- what a difference! The team quite obviously cared about what they were doing. A concern I had was the impact the power washing might have on the mature landscaping surrounding the treated areas. I was assured that as a matter of course, the team waters down the plants, trees, etc., before and after treatment. I need not have been concerned - no issues there. When it's time (again), I will definitely be using Green Sun for power washing. - Google

Choose the Solar Plan That Fits Your Budget and Goals
No matter your budget, going solar in New Jersey can be structured to fit your goals. Whether you want $0 upfront, low down payments, or maximum lifetime savings, we’ll show you clear options and help you choose the best fit for your home.
Important federal update: Under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, the federal residential solar tax credit for homeowner-owned systems (purchased with cash/loan) ends after December 31, 2025. Third-party owners (lease/PPA providers) may still qualify for a federal credit through 2027, which can make leases more attractive in 2026–2027 depending on eligibility rules. IRS+1

Why Go Solar in New Jersey Now That the 30% Tax Credit Is Gone
Solar is still one of the smartest investments for New Jersey homeowners. Even without the federal tax credit, solar can lower your monthly electric bill, protect you from rising rates, and give you long-term control over your energy costs. With strong state incentives and flexible payment options, going solar in New Jersey continues to deliver immediate and long-term value.
Solar Panel Installation in Jackson, NJ
Jackson homeowners are paying some of the highest electric rates in New Jersey, and those costs continue to rise each year. Because of this, installing solar panels in Jackson, NJ has become an increasingly popular way to slash energy bills. However, larger homes with higher energy use need a properly designed solar solution to deliver real savings. That’s why Green Sun Energy Services focuses on custom system design for every installation. Rather than using one-size-fits-all templates, we help Jackson homeowners save on electric bills with solar systems built specifically for local conditions. New Jersey even exempts residential solar panels from increasing your property taxes – so you can add value to your Jackson home without a tax penalty while locking in long-term energy savings.
Why Jackson Homeowners Are Turning to Solar
Electric rates in Jackson are significantly higher than the national average – especially for homeowners served by JCP&L. As utility prices continue to rise, many Jackson residents are choosing solar as a way to regain control over their monthly energy costs. Homeowners across Jackson are going solar to:
-
-
Lower monthly electric bills (and effectively lower electric bills with solar by offsetting expensive utility power)
-
Protect against future utility rate increases
-
Offset high household energy usage with free power from the sun
-
Increase home value without raising property taxes (thanks to NJ’s solar property tax exemption)
-
Gain energy independence with predictable, stable energy costs
-
With the right payment plan (including $0-down solar programs) and a custom-designed system, many Jackson homeowners see monthly solar payments that are substantially lower than their previous electric bills. And thanks to JCP&L’s net metering in Jackson, any excess energy your solar panels produce is credited at full retail value on your next electric bill – further boosting your solar savings over time.
Custom Solar System Design for Jackson Homes
Not all solar systems perform the same, especially in Jackson. Factors like tree cover, roof orientation, and shading can all affect how much energy your solar panels produce. Because of these local factors, proper system design is critical for maximizing your savings.
That’s why every solar installation we design is based on:
-
-
Your roof’s layout, orientation, and shading – to maximize sun exposure and output
-
Your historical electric usage – so the system size is tailored to your home’s needs
-
Your local utility rate structure – we account for JCP&L’s rates and net metering policies
-
Jackson Township permitting requirements – we handle all local permitting and paperwork for you
-
Future needs – such as EV chargers or a home backup generator, which we can plan for in the design
-
We never oversell systems or rely on cookie-cutter layouts. Instead, your solar design is engineered to deliver real, measurable savings for your specific Jackson home. The result is a high-performance solar panel system that fits your roof and energy needs perfectly.
Solar Installation Process in Jackson, NJ
Going solar doesn’t have to be complicated. In fact, Green Sun Energy Services has developed a proven local process that keeps everything clear and stress-free from start to finish. Our solar installation process includes:
-
-
First, a free solar consultation and energy review
-
Next, a custom system design tailored to your home
-
Then, permitting, SREC registration, and utility coordination
-
After that, professional installation by experienced crews
-
Finally, inspections, activation, and ongoing support
-
In most cases, Jackson solar installations are completed in just one to two days once permits are approved. We coordinate every step, so your solar installation in Jackson, NJ is smooth and hassle-free. From initial design to final PTO (permission to operate), our team handles the details while keeping you informed, so you can relax and enjoy the journey to cleaner, cheaper energy.
Top Three Solar FAQ from Jackson Homeowners
How much can solar lower my electric bill in Jackson?
It depends on your usage, roof space, shading, and current utility rates. We build your estimate directly from your electric bill so you can see realistic savings before you commit. With a properly sized system, many Jackson homeowners offset most of their annual electricity usage – and any extra power you send to the grid is credited on your JCP&L bill, significantly lowering your costs. In fact, some homeowners can nearly eliminate their electric bill by going solar.
Is $0-down solar actually $0 down?
Yes – in most cases, $0-down solar really means no upfront cost to you. For example, a solar lease in Jackson, NJ can often be started with $0 down, so you pay nothing out-of-pocket for installation. You’ll simply make a monthly payment for the solar power (usually at a rate lower than your current electric bill). We make sure to explain all payment details upfront, so there are no surprises and you can choose the option that fits your budget.
Does JCP&L offer net metering for solar in Jackson, NJ?
Absolutely. JCP&L provides net metering for solar customers in Jackson and across its service area. This means any excess energy your solar panels produce is fed back into the grid and earns you full credit on your next electric bill. In other words, your meter can spin backward and those credits will further reduce your costs. Net metering is a key reason Jackson homeowners can maximize their solar savings – over the course of the year, credits for summer overproduction can help offset usage in other months, ensuring you get the most value from your solar investment.
